						Wow, this has me very interested. Just on the colors alone, regardless of what it may homage.
Did Starscream ever wear his traditional colors in the Unicron Trilogy?

						On one hand, I really hope this is true. On the other, my wallet is begging me for it to be false.

						Energon starscream had a g1 homage.  I'm really down for this. I've been wanting some random 'con combiner limbs.

						More bogus homage repaints instead of new characters. Money saved. Now where is Victorian and G2 Superion already?

Energon Starscream was repainted/remolded into his G1 not-undead look.
All in all, this seems strange to me. I would have expected a line up based on characters' start of show colors, not their repaints, and if they were doing an Energon homage, I would have expected torso-tron to be rendered in white, blue, and green (start of Energon), or to look more like the American version of CW Cyclonus, the G1 colors a close match to Energon Megatron's G1-Galvatron-style repaint.
Edit: I really feel like his left arm is supposed to look like Cybertron Crumplezone, but except for the torso being Thundercracker (if it uses Scattorshot's head), nothing else seems to line up with Cybertron/Galaxy Force. Plus, if they were doing Cybertron, I'd have expected Hotspot and Groove to be Mudflap and Ransack.
Edit 2: Left arm could be Armada Thrust? But again, the rest don't really line up with Armada.

I'm not convinced on the homage theories yet, though I'm open to them. I'm hoping it's just some wacky new cannon on Takara's part.

						Obviously, the right arm is Starscream and the left leg is most likely Demolishor. The torso looks like it could be either Cybertron Galvatron or Energon Megatron (keep in mind that I know next to nothing about the UT. I'm just going off of colors). Left arm has Armada Thrust colors. And the right leg could be Brushguard. Or maybe an upsized Payload.

						I think the torso could be homaging G1 Galvatron's toy colors.

Some sort of meta-homage? Various ut figure homages combining to homage g1 toy galvatron... He even has the two-toned cannon... man he does seem a little out there...
I like it, seriously might pre-order this

						I wonder if it's an intentional mish-mash of loosely Unicron related characters?
Torso looks to be based on Galvatron's G1 toy, with the prominent white/lavender.
You've got G1 Starscream on the right arm, and he (pretended to) helped Unicron in the Cartoon.
Left arm looks like Armada Thrust, who was convinced by Sideways to work for Unicron.
Right Leg might be Animated Soundwave? Cybertron Soundwave worked for Unicron, so maybe it's a loose connection?
As for the Left Leg, the only character I know of with that balance of white and red/orange was the 2007 Movie figure Wreckage, who also transformed into that type of vehicle. Although he has zero to do with the big yellow devilbot, so I don't know.

Man, those painted rims really do a world of good for these figures, I hate that hasbro has cheaped out on paint so much that they can't even paint the rims on their figures 
 
Combined mode still looks like garbage with all that molded detail washed out

Yeah, I can see how original idea's can throw people for a loop in a toyline that has devolved into nothing but homages and updates
